"Does the carpet match the drapes?" and other stupid things you've been asked
Posted On 06/29/2009 20:05:20 by bwhite

I am a man with a red beard and strawberry blonde hair that goes from blonde to red to sandy brown depending on the light.  I asked a girl to describe to me what she thought my hair color was.  She said, "If I were to be polite, I'd say it was ginger."  She went on to say, "but knowing your temperment, I'd say it was red."

So my question is this?  What kind of stereotypes have you faced as a redhead and did they seem flattering to you or were you insulted?

In recent years, online shopping has become popular; however, it still caters to the middle and upper class. In order to shop online, one must be able to have access to a computer, a bank account and a debit card. Shopping has evolved with the growth of technology. According to research found in the Journal of Electronic Commerce, if one focuses on the demographic characteristics of the in-home shopper, in general, the higher the level of education, income, and occupation of the head of the household, the more favourable the perception of non-store shopping., Enrique.(2005) The Impact of Internet User Shopping Patterns and Demographics on Consumer Mobile Buying Behaviour.

Oh, I forgot to mention ... when people ask if I am a 'real' redhead, nowadays I grin and say, "matching collar and cuffs" ... which usually leaves them spluttering ...

Hairdressers will tell you that red is on the blonde spectrum ... so when I heard that redheads were blondes with poor impulse control, that really made me laugh ... My siblings and our Mum are all redheads, as am I ... going from strawberry blonde to copper ... and we are four of the most placid people you could meet ... while my Mum's sister and her daughter, and my brother's wife are so temperamental it is scary ...interesting how we are all dumped in the same basket ...

I heard them all in my lifetime, now there are lots more redheads then when i was younger. I was treated more like an alien!! The carpet matching the drapes was an old one, I heard that all the time. Freckle face strawberry was another one, I really hated that one. My mom always told me that freckles meant i had rich blood!! that really didn't help much.  I love being a red head, 2 of my 4 kids have red hair,  my son hates it, he thinks that girls aren't attracted to red haired guys.  You girls out there need to set him straight...............
